Craft Keeps on Brewing in Ontario's Southwest

Craft beer is booming across Canada and in Ontario’s Southwest, it’s no different. In the last few years, more than a dozen new breweries have opened their doors across the region with their own unique offerings. Best of all, all the breweries compliment all the amazing flavours available from local producers, chefs, and farmers.

Indulge in the flavours of lovingly prepared culinary treats using fresh, local ingredients, tasty craft beverages, farmers' markets, and our beautiful country side with these Brewery Discovery Routes stretching across Ontario's Southwest.

To add in a truly unique experience, take a PedalPub London Libations craft beer tour. You'll get to pedal the PedalPub to multiple London breweries and enjoy private tastings at each spot! Make it a multi-day trip with an overnight stay at one of London's newly renovated hotels like the Park Hotel London located right downtown or DoubleTree by Hilton, that's a short walk from the train station.
